Stanton 500 cartridge good 4 bedroom, club and turntabalist

Gear review November 2008

Contents of the video

Alright folks, a quick look at these guys. These are known as styli cartridges. This particular unit is from a company called Stanton and this is known as the 500. Now I used to use these many years ago but the end part where that white area is was a slightly different design. These guys are ideal for bedroom use for turntablists. The needle on the end of this styli is known as a spherical needle. Basically what that means is it won't cut into the vinyl so much and it won't ruin the vinyl as quickly as an optical styli. So they're ideal for scratch DJs. They're not the cheapest in the world, but definitely they're not the most expensive styli in the world. Follow the link in the description, you can get some more information from that. A quick insight into these guys from Stanton, the Stanton 500s. By the way, the track you're listening to is from Green Velvet.

It's the Destination Unknown EP and the track is entitled Stormy Weather. Practice and enjoy!
